4. The primary use case example is something like this:

// At global scope, allocates no memory whatsoever static const constexpr static_map map { { 5, "apple" }, { 8, "pear" }, { 0, "banana" }, ... };

This seems at least superficially similar to the enum conversion library that was discussed briefly last year. Have you taken a look at that?

If the proposed map didn't allow value modification or indeed non-constexpr constructible values, then they would be very similar yes, just a different use-syntax. Niall -- ned Productions Limited Consulting http://www.nedproductions.biz/ http://ie.linkedin.com/in/nialldouglas/
